Yardbird: Top Chef Jeff McInnis new restaurant

I think Yardbird is going to be a huge success. The whole cozy feel of Southern cooking and atmosphere is just what’s needed in the heart of South Beach! There’s even a wood deck with outdoor seating for people watching.

Chef Jeff McInnis looking very calm on his first night’s opening at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar. I so enjoyed hanging with my foodie friends and thanks to Gretchen for inviting me. We sat at the high table with comfy bar stools so you can watch the chefs cook! Best seats in the house. Even though it was ridiculously busy, the wait staff were all very well trained and friendly. I can’t wait to try Cast Iron Chicken because as you know, I’m a HUGE cast iron wok advocate. Produce and meat are all sourced locally here and proudly stated on their website here.

I remember watching Jeff as a contestant on Top Chef. Soon after, I went to see him “grill” Chef Tom Colicchio in an amusing interview session at Arsht Center in Miami. Next, Jeff was the chef who helped open up popular Gigi’s and asked if I wanted to ‘work’ one of the wok stations there when he found out I teach wok cooking! He actually remembered our conversation last night.

All the details at the bar with the fixings were beautiful. Showing all the wonderful food canning along the wall.

Goodie bag of Moon pie, pickled onions, bourbon and a calculator?

I love Jeff’s mission and what he’s trying to do with his restaurant! You can read more about Yardbird here, here and here. And here’s Gretchen’s writeup. Last but not least from one of my fav writers.

Well, good luck to Jeff’s first night (yeah, I got this up before he opens to the public tonight.) I’m all about supporting chefs who have the guts to open their own restaurant, it’s a tough business.

I was very honored Jeff’s mom emailed to say, “It was great to live it through your eyes!”

Definitely imagine that which you stated.
Your favourite reason seemed to be at the web the simplest
thing to consider of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst other people consider worries
that they plainly don’t realize about. You controlled to
hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the entire thing without having side-effects ,
folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

You just need to have a good maintenance plan and get the most appropriate system for the project.
Maybe you have got gotten to the position that your overall health doesn’t enable you to scrub specifically such as you need.
We are not very much sure about how much of your fantasy for bags, clubs and shopping will be fulfilled but one thing is sure your fantasy about long, spacious and ultra rich cars is definitely within the scope.
